Leaf hoppers of New Zealand: Subfamilies Aphrodinae,Jassinae, Xestocephalinae,Idiocerinae, and Macropsinae (Homoptera: Cicadellidae)

The cosmopolitan subfamilies Aphrodinae, Jassinae, Xestocephalinae, Idiocerinae, and Macropsinae are diagnosed and the New Zealand species described and illustrated. Each subfamily is represented in New Zealand by only one or two species, those in Idiocerinae having been introduced from Europe or North America. The species Euacanthella brunnea Evans (Aphrodinae) is synonymised with the Australian species E. insularis Evans (new synonymy).
